Made in L.A. Vol. 5

In Los Angeles, the only constant is change. Our lives go through cycles and rotations. We incorporate new ideas, people, workplaces, and patterns as we create the futures we have dreamed of since childhood. The stories we tell are malleable and shifting. We seek out places to survey the world around us, to understand where we've come from, where we are, and where we're going. In a sprawling, intricately patterned landscape shaped by the lives of millions, we find commonalities and differences, joy and sorrow, and moments of convergence.
In this the fifth volume of the Made in L.A. fiction anthology series, stories are told through lenses focused on the aptitude of Angelenos to reinvent and reimagine, to take action for ourselves and for others. As storytellers, Angelenos understand that to seek truth in a world of continual shifts and evolution requires constant readjustment of the prism through which we perceive modern society. To solve the failures and dilemmas of the past, present, and future, we must observe from every conceivable angle, and from every vantage point.
